Taking a cultural studies perspective, A. Robert Lee recognises the context of politics and popular culture and draws on the visual as well as the literary spectrum.This is the first book of its kind - while there are books available which introduce one or other of the ethnic traditions, no one has yet considered them in comparative terms in a single volume. As such it will be an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in multicultural American literature.Selling PointsFirst single volume comparative analysis of recent American 'ethnic' writingTimely, wide-ranging and informativeCovers both fiction and autobiography
